Historic Structures Report, Part I: Bryan Farm Buildings
Tilberg F. 1958. Historic Structures Report, Part I: Bryan Farm Buildings. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
The Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point in the Civil War, the Union victory that ended General Robert E. Lee's second and most ambitious invasion of the North. Often referred to as the "High Water Mark of the Rebellion", Gettysburg was the Civil War's bloodiest battle and was also the inspiration for President Abraham Lincoln's immortal "Gettysburg Address". The Gettysburg National Military Park protects and interprets the landscape of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg. This historic structures report concerns the Bryan Farm Buildings at Gettysburg. Infantry units and artillery, strongly concentrated in this area, were heavily engaged in Pickett's Charge on July 3. It is intended that the house be restored to its war-period appearance, both externally and internally, and that it be used as a field exhibit. The barn, which still retains its war period appearance, would be maintained in repair and used for storage purposes.
